A potential representation for the subset of traveling solutions of nonlinear dispersive evolution equations is introduced. The procedure involves a reduction of a third order partial differential equation to a first order ordinary differential equation. In this representation it can be shown that solitons and solutions with compact support only exist in systems with linear or quadratic dispersion, respectively. In particular, this article deals with so the called K(n,m) equations. It is shown that these equations can be classified according to a simple point transformation. As a result, all equations that allow for soliton solutions join the same equivalence class with the Korteweg-deVries equation being its representative.

This paper compares the results of applying a recently developed method of stochastic uncertainty quantification designed for fluid dynamics to the Born-Infeld model of nonlinear electromagnetism. The similarities in the results are striking. Namely, the introduction of Stratonovich cylindrical noise into each of their Hamiltonian formulations introduces stochastic Lie transport into their dynamics in the same form for both theories. Moreover, the resulting stochastic partial differential equations (SPDE) retain their unperturbed form, except for an additional term representing induced Lie transport by the set of divergence-free vector fields associated with the spatial correlations of the cylindrical noise. The explanation for this remarkable similarity lies in the method of construction of the Hamiltonian for the Stratonovich stochastic contribution to the motion in both cases; which is done via pairing spatial correlation eigenvectors for cylindrical noise with the momentum map for the deterministic motion. This momentum map is responsible for the well-known analogy between hydrodynamics and electromagnetism. The momentum map for the Maxwell and Born-Infeld theories of electromagnetism treated here is the 1-form density known as the Poynting vector. Two Appendices treat the Hamiltonian structures underlying these results.
We study admissible and equivalence point transformations between generalized multidimensional nonlinear Schrodinger equations and classify Lie symmetries of such equations. We begin with a wide superclass of Schrodinger-type equations, which includes all the other classes considered in the paper. Showing that this superclass is not normalized, we partition it into two disjoint normalized subclasses, which are not related by point transformations. Further constraining the arbitrary elements of the superclass, we construct a hierarchy of normalized classes of Schrodinger-type equations. This gives us an appropriate normalized superclass for the non-normalized class of multidimensional nonlinear Schrodinger equations with potentials and modular nonlinearities and allows us to partition the latter class into three families of normalized subclasses. After a preliminary study of Lie symmetries of nonlinear Schrodinger equations with potentials and modular nonlinearities for an arbitrary space dimension, we exhaustively solve the group classification problem for such equations in space dimension two.
Enhancing and essentially generalizing previous results on a class of (1+1)-dimensional nonlinear wave and elliptic equations, we apply several new techniques to classify admissible point transformations within this class up to the equivalence generated by its equivalence group. This gives an exhaustive description of its equivalence groupoid. After extending the algebraic method of group classification to non-normalized classes of differential equations, we solve the complete group classification problem for the class under study up to both usual and general point equivalences. The solution includes the complete preliminary group classification of the class and the construction of singular Lie-symmetry extensions, which are not related to subalgebras of the equivalence algebra. The complete preliminary group classification is based on classifying appropriate subalgebras of the entire infinite-dimensional equivalence algebra whose projections are qualified as maximal extensions of the kernel invariance algebra. The results obtained can be used to construct exact solutions of nonlinear wave and elliptic equations.
We carry out the enhanced group classification of a class of (1+1)-dimensional nonlinear diffusion-reaction equations with gradient-dependent diffusivity using the two-step version of the method of furcate splitting. For simultaneously finding the equivalence groups of an unnormalized class of differential equations and a collection of its subclasses, we suggest an optimized version of the direct method. The optimization includes the preliminary study of admissible transformations within the entire class and the successive splitting of the corresponding determining equations with respect to arbitrary elements and their derivatives depending on auxiliary constraints associated with each of required subclasses. In the course of applying the suggested technique to subclasses of the class under consideration, we construct, for the first time, a nontrivial example of finite-dimensional effective generalized equivalence group. Using the method of Lie reduction and the generalized separation of variables, exact solutions of some equations under consideration are found.
We discuss the classical statement of group classification problem and some its extensions in the general case. After that, we carry out the complete extended group classification for a class of (1+1)-dimensional nonlinear diffusion--convection equations with coefficients depending on the space variable. At first, we construct the usual equivalence group and the extended one including transformations which are nonlocal with respect to arbitrary elements. The extended equivalence group has interesting structure since it contains a non-trivial subgroup of non-local gauge equivalence transformations. The complete group classification of the class under consideration is carried out with respect to the extended equivalence group and with respect to the set of all point transformations. Usage of extended equivalence and correct choice of gauges of arbitrary elements play the major role for simple and clear formulation of the final results. The set of admissible transformations of this class is preliminary investigated.
